Re: [What to do] PI - Processor-only planets

New feature idea is to improve when to buy lower tier or intermediate tier inputs. E.g. Say you want to make P4 from P2 - the spreadsheet works out the net profit/loss from that. But sometimes one of the P2 > P3 is loss making as so using the the P3 intermediates instead would give you a larger profit (and also reduce the number of planets required).

Will look at this next week maybe.

I havent actually used it yet, but i can make a comeback to PI, i wasted half a million SP there.

Maximum? Extract p1 on most planets, convert to p3 on a separate planet, preferably the same one for each character. Otherwise the pi will be too bulky and you will kill yourself with hauling.

Or, do many single planet chains to minimise being ganked at a customs office.

I have a POS set up to store commodities.

My current strat is to have as many characters as possible extracting p0->p1 commodities on the same planet, and drop them off in the POS. I'm not overly worried about getting ganked, but it is a possibility.

I then have a final character with 4 planets turning those p1 commodities into p2, and a 5th planet converting the p2 commodities into p4. It appears that one character will have a full set of p1's to keep the p2 factory planets running 24/7, have one factory planet to create two p3's 24/7, and the final one can use 1/3rd of its factories to create the final p4.
